I think the arena in Brooklyn will do quite well, and fans from Long Island could always hop a train straight to the arena. It could be a win - win. And as Markowitz says, technically they'd still be on Long Island.

Including NETS Basketball, the Barclays Center will have more than 200 events annually, including premier concerts, monthly major professional boxing cards, professional tennis, top college basketball and hockey, and family shows, such as Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus and Disney on Ice. To date, the Barclays Center has received commitments to host 149 events annually, and that list continues to grow.
